As both me and the current "Mrs flat" are avid readers, I can see the Kindle as a solution to packing books when we are travelling.
Not only that, I'm due to undergo surgery fairly soon and anticipate being laid up for a couple of months so, again, I think this might be just the thing!!
I love books, even the smell of them, but sometimes they can be a bit on the bulky side to hold for any length of time and a dozen or so in the bottom of a suitcase can use up a fair bit of your luggage allowance.
I think a few subtle hints to my other half and we'll see what Santa brings!
